The thing about Depeche songs is that theyโre so descriptive. For me, they tell some kind of story about a character whoโs trying to redeem himself or to find something to believe in-some kind of faith or hope.
Dave GahanI'm not that type of musician where I can sit down at the piano and work out a song; I actually really enjoy that process of sitting with somebody and having nothing and then suddenly something starts appearing. You struggle with it, and then suddenly a song starts to appear. Then, you've got to try and muscle it - there's that word again - into something and you do. You tussle with it and play with it and roll around with it and suddenly, magically, something appears.
Dave GahanI think Depeche Mode music somehow appeals to the oddball, to the person who is looking for something a little bit different.
